[QUOTE="Andy, post: 240731, member: 5096"] Is she in 7th grade then? Oh how I hated PE with a passion. Didn't help that I had no respect for the teacher who tried to make attendance at games mandatory and then quizzed us on the scores - I could care less which town we were playing or what the final score was - if we won,then we won who cares by how much? I wasn't going to waste my money and time outsideof school hours going to a sports game that I had no interest in. If it is mandatory, the school better not make the students pay. But mostly I hated the entire locker room experience. So stupid to have everyone dressing in the open, share the large showers, no privacy at all. The noise level in the locker room was unbearable - stupid laughter, screaming, and loud voices echoing off the walls. My parents were able to get the school to allow me to shower after everyone else had left the locker room. That helped a lot. I still hated PE but I didn't fight it any longer. I agree with Small World - try to find the specifics of what she doesn't like. That may help find a solution. [/QUOTE]
